Application filed. November 6, 1925.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in churns.

The object of the invention is to provide a carrier arranged to be resiliently suspended and having a simple construction for con veniently and efficiently supporting the churn receptacle.

A particular object of the invention is to provide a carrier so arranged that the receptacle may be easily and readily inserted into the carrier or removed therefrom.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple fastening for retaining the receptacle in the carrier.

A construction designed to carry out the invention will be hereinafter described together with other features of the invention.

The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification and by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which an example of the invention is shown, and wherein:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a churn constructed in accordance with my invention,

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the carrier and receptacle,

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same,

Fig. 4 is an underside view of the same the receptacle being partially in section,

Fig. 5 is a horizontal cross-sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 3, and

Fig. 6 is an elevation of the lid and do: fiector.

In the drawings the numeral 10 designates an upright substantially rectangular frame having its upper end crimped inwardly at 11 and an eye 12 formed at the center of its top cross member 13. At the bottom of the frame transverse supporting rods 14: form a support or bracket for receiving a churn reoeptable 15 which fits in the frame.

The rods are each looped around the cross member 16 of the frame 10 at 17 and are suitably secured on said member by soldering or other means. These rods extend on each side of the member 16 at substantially right angles thereto and each has an up turned stop 18 at its rear end for receiving the back side of the receptacle. A hook 19 suitably secured between the rods on the member 16 depends therefrom. The receptacle has a bead or lip 20 at its mouth Serial No. 67,248.

and a flanged lid 21 telescopes into the mouth of said receptacle. A perforated conical deflector 22 hangs in the receptacle from the center of the lid, but this is subject to variation and any suitable deflector or agitator may be used. a

The receptacle has a flange or shoulder 23 at its upper end and this engages in the frame just under the crimps 11, whereby the receptacle is heldagainst displacement. The lid slips under the top cross member 13 and the edges of the lid engage in the intersection between the said member and the uprights of the frame. The lid has ahandle 24 which is set to one side in order to permit the lid to slide under the member 13.

To fasten the receptacle 15 in the carrier I provide a curved yoke 25 having its ends looped around the crimps 11 and formed mto eyes26 and 27, respectively. The yoke is fastened to the frame by solder or otherwise. The eye 26 is turned to a vertical position; while the eye 27 is horizontal. A curved bail 28 has one end hinged to the eye 26 and a down-turned hook 29 formed on its opposite end for engagement in the eye 27. When the receptacle is placed in the carrier its neck 15 engages the yoke 25 and the bail is latched around the front side of the neck to fasten the receptacle in place. The bail engages under the bead 20 and the neck cannot slip from the fastening. This with the bottom support makes a simple and efficient fastening. The hook 19 is engaged with a bottom spring 30 and the eye 12 is connected to an upper spring 31. These springs are secured to fixed supports in the usual manner and the carrier is vibrated between the springs when placed in site the yoke, the frame having elements at its upper and lower ends for attaching it to vibrating means.

2. In a churn, an upriglit carrier frame,

supporting rods at the bottom of the frame extending transversely thereof, upturned stops at the one end of each rod, the frame being crimped at its upper end, a yoke se cured to the erimped portion of the frame,

an eye at one end of the yoke, a second eye at the other end of the yoke, a bail hinged in the first eye and having a hook engaging in the second eye, the frame having elements at its upper and lower ends for attaching it to vibrating means.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

LUKE MORRIS.
